A piicafibn filed February 3, 1923. Serial No. 616,834..

Beit known thatI, CHARLES F. SCHRINER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cleveland, in thecountyof Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets, of which the following is a specification;

This invention relates to faucets, andmore particularly to a quick acting faucet for 111,-, bricating oils and greases, varnishes, paints and similar semi-liquid.substancesL y The main object of the nventlon'is to providea faucet ofsaid characterjof si'n 1' ple and inexpensive construction, which is easilyand. quickly operated to give afull flow and closed completely to entirely shut ed the flow, and also prevent. dripping of the substances from the outlet thereof.

In order that theinvention may be clearly understood, the same will be hereinafter bular body '1 by forming ajlongitudinal,

fully described with reference'to the accompanying drawings, and the novel. features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

in the drawings similar characters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a side View of a faucet constructedin accordance, with my invention,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same,

Fig. 8 is longitudinal sectional View taken on line 33 of Fig. 2, the faucetbeing closed, I

Fig. 4 is a similar view, the faucet being open, and

Fig. 5 is cross sectional, view taken on line 55. of Fig. 3.

Referring to the, drawings, 1 represents an elongated cylindrical body preferably constructed of a piece of tubular steel or the like, which is provided with external threads at 2 for attachment to a barrel or other receptacle containing lubricating oil or grease by applying a wrench to the nut 3 formed integrally. with said body. The outer end of the tubular body 1 is faced off to provide a seat 4. Movably mounted over and snugly fitting the outer end of the tubular body 1 is a cap 5, which is preferably formed of sheet material and consists of an elongated'sleeve 6 having an outer closed end 7 A washer 80f leather or other suitable material is arranged in the closed end 7 of the cap 5 and is adapted to engage the seat 4 for sealing the end of the with an outlet opening 9' through its wall and near the closed end"? thereof, andsaid openingis preferably of the same area as the inside diameter or bore of the tubular body 1. or the purpose ofenabling a person to move the cap 5 longitudinally upon the tubular body 1 and also torotate the:

cap to cause it to advance so as tolbr'ing the sealing washer 8 against its seat 1 as will be hereinafter explained, a suitable h'an dle 1O is fixed to the closed end 7 of the cap. The handle 10 reduced and provided with a square shank 11, which passes the same fsecures thesealing washer 8 in. PQSltlOllJ Tlle tubular sleeve 6 of the cap 15 guided longitudmally upon the trichannel or groove 15 in the wall of the sleeve for receiving, a pin 16 fixed in the tubular body 1, and is advanced, when bemg turned to the right, to cause the sealing washer 8 to press tightly against the seat I serve toifixgthe -handle tothe cap, and at r 4 of the tubular body, and withdrawn, when being turned in the reverse direction, for

causing said sealing washer to be removed from. said seat, by forming a channel or grooyel'Z in the wall of the sleeve and extending at an angle from the longitudinal channel or groove 15. In order to close the open Tend of the longitudinal channel or groove 15to serve as a stop for engaging the pin 16 w prevent the cap being removed from the tubular bodyrl, the end of the wall at the end of said channel or groove 18 bent downwardly at 18 by striking the same with a hammer. 9'is-so positioned with relation to the longitudinal channel or groove 15 and the gular channel or groove 17 in the wall of the. sleeve 6 of the cap 5, that when the said cap 5 is pulled-forwardly until the downwardly bent end 18 of the channel or groove 15 engages the pin 16, said outlet opening will be beyond the end of the tubular body 1 to give a full flow. centrally of the bottom side thereof, all as shown in Fig. 4. To shutoff the flow, the cap 5'is pushed rearwardly until the cam channel or groove 17 is opposite the pin 16, and then by turning the handle 10 to the right, the

cap will be rotated and'forcedrearwardly The outlet opening a ILA by its cam channel or groove engaging said pin, which action forces thesealing Washer 8 tightly against the seat 4 of the tubular body. To open the faucet, the "cap 5is' rotated to the left by turning the handle 10, and the edge of the cam channel or groove 17, by engaging the pin 16, Will forcetlie cap outwardly and the sealing va-shen 8 from its seat l; and upon the lon itudinal channel or groove 15 comingopposite said pin, by pulling upon the handle 10, said cap is pulled longitudinally until the downwardly bentendlsof the ivall of the channeloigroove engages the pin 16, when the outlet opening ,Will be beyond the end l of the tubular body 1 thus permitting a full new. V t

It is thought that the construction and operation of the faucet disclosed [will be clearly understoodwitho'ut further explanation, and it is i eadilyfseen that this faucet is inexpensive to manufacture, easy and quick wopeme, and will noty'leak when closed. It is :to beun derstood, that although the construction described is capable of accomplishing the intended purpose that slight changes in the details in construction may be'inade Within 'thescope of'the claim.
